727 L1 Airstairs

[Tony G]

Hi all,

Do any of the HJG 727 100s or 200s have an airstair option for door L1? I know Boeing offered this as an option and I think Eastern and Wardair Canada had them.

Thanks

This query has been moved to this/the "BOEING SUPPORT" form page.

All technical queries should (as has been previously requested) be posted on forum SUPPORT pages relative to the specific AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER/AIRCRAFT TYPE in question .... it's "tidier" and concentrates information where most people can expect to find it

In order to remind and aid awareness of what's been standard in regard to animations associated with the B727 models "we offer" (since October 2015 and which aren't he same as the original VL versions) .... the entire "MODEL ANIMATIONS" section, from our forum based B727 manual, has been posted/quoted below ....

"BOEING 727 MODEL ANIMATIONS"

All HJG supplied PAX version 3D B727-200 V2.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits with folding air stairs .... within the following range limitations.



All HJG supplied freighter/SCD version 3D B727-200 V2.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and port side forward fuselage main deck cargo doors .... as well as opening/animated door 1L forward fuselage exits with folding air stairs.



All Door 1 forward fuselage exit folding air stairs, rear fuselage ventral airstairs, and port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door animations (B727-200 SCD subjects only), are controlled per "TAILHOOK, CONCORDE VISOR (EXTEND/RETRACT)", and "WINGFOLD" keyboard commands. These keyboard commands must be "manually assigned" within FS OPTIONS/CONTROLS/ASSIGNMENTS.

- SHIFT + E (open/close Door 1L)
- SHIFT + "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY EXTEND"/F6 (extend folding air stairs)
- SHIFT + "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY RETRACT"/F7 (retract folding air stairs)
- SHIFT + "WINGFOLD" commands (open/close ventral air stairs)
- SHIFT + "TAILHOOK" commands (open/close port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door on all B727-200 freighter/SCD model subjects only .... and starboard side lower forward fuselage cargo hatch on all B727-100 model subjects)

Failure to correctly assign these keyboard commands will result in these animations not functioning.

PLEASE NOTE: The "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY EXTEND/RETRACT" keyboard commands (to animate the folding air stairs at Door 1L) are based on "FS2004 assignments. This animation "cannot" work in FSX. The CONCORDE VISOR commands in FSX are based on a different combination of keyboard assignments .... which "are not" compatible with any of these B727-100/-200 3D models.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: All HJG supplied PAX version 3D B727-100 V1.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits but no folding air stairs animations (that is how these models were supplied to us).

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: All HJG supplied freighter/SCD version 3D B727-100 V1.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits but no folding air stairs or port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door animations.
